    The Official House and Garden Thread

    Holy smokes... 6 years later almost and this thread is still alive lol!! I've run all these nute brands at this point... H&G (Aqua Flakes) is a great recirculating nutrient. We use drip clean in every setup, still don't understand it or know what it truly is or how it works. RE is not the...

    The Official House and Garden Thread

    Wow a lot has changed in 4 years.. Can't believe it's been that long since I wrote this thread ;).. I opened a Hydroponics store in 2010 and have learned quite a bit since which I'll share with everyone. I've spent many hours learning and educating myself on plants & plant nutrients...

    Hydro Innovations Ice Box 8" for 4000w Cooled by Swimming Pool?

    First of all the manufacturer reccomends 1 icebox per 1000w lamp/reflector. You'll also need a good inline fan to pull air through the hoods. Depending on the temps of your pool it may work although probably not very well during the summer. I *THINK* they say your ambient temps in your room...

    Any Advice on a Quiet Inline Exhaust Fan?

    MaxFan is the absolute quietest and moves the most air. They are extremely expensive. Vortex is also a great fan, quiet and efficient. A little louder than Maxfan & a little less expensive. You may also want to look into Duct Silencers. Phresh is a good brand. Phat also just came out...

    Never heard of dripclean used as a foliar spray? What would be the advantages of doing so? I certainly can't think of any.

    Organic Soil: Tiny White Bugs climbing on Pot Rims when I Water

    I've had them in Fox Farm Ocean Forest before. I called several people about it and they said they were harmless, but couldn't tell me what they were? Real reassuring right? LOL. Good news is I got through that cycle with no noticable problems so who knows? Good luck, and please post if you...

    Teal flakes in DWC?

    Sounds like you need a bigger airstone and DEFINETELY need to keep your water cooler. A chiller will definetely help you. Thoroughly clean your system completely and use some h2o2 to kill off any remaining nastys.

    PLEASE DONT IGNORE!! Need questions answered

    my guess is your plants are deficient for several reasons. Your feed/water regimen I BELIEVE is incorrect. Watering the plant with 0ppm water every other watering is starving it in between feedings. I find that a more consistent dose of lower ppm nutrients is better than the feast/famine...

    Question about H202 with GH FloraNova

    YES, you can use h2o2 with floranova and liquid karma. The only negative side effect of h2o2 is it kills all bacteria, bad and good alike. It works great for ridding root rot and nasty shit going on in a reservior. Enzyme products will not kill bacteria and won't have the effect your looking...

    The Retarded or Sculpted Plant Game

    Unfortunately don't have any pics but I've seen a stem that looked like 3 twizzlers still attached to each other. It flowered and it produced this really wierd wide ass bud. Anyone ever seen anything like it?

    2 Rooms, 1 CO2 gen,what can I do?

    I think your idea of a "lung" room with 2 duct fans pulling to the rooms is the best idea. You can get one of those dual zone co2 Controllers (Matador I think or something. Look in Rose Bud Magazine they are advertised all over). This would turn the gen on if either of the rooms fell below...

    lumatek 1000w dimmable or galaxy 1000w dimmable ballast.

    Dude I can tell you with 100% certainty that Galaxy is a far superior ballast to Lumatek. Lumatek's are NOTORIOUS for blowing bulbs and failing. I'm telling you bro you are WAY better off with a Galaxy. Lumatek return rate is probably 15% or better. They are popular because they were the...

    running 6000- 8000 watts

    Ever think of light movers for the 1K's? You have more than enough space to put 8 1K's on light movers. Might get a little complicated as your trying to air cool but do-able. In my experience using light movers prolongs harvest by 5-12 days but adds another 15%-50% in yield. In most cases...
